Nell Ní Chróinín performs in Rothe House as part of Kilkenny Arts Festival Secret Music Series '21.
A firm Festival favourite Nell Ní Chróinín hails from the Irish speaking Múscraí Gaeltacht of West Cork. This area is historically linked with a strong heritage of song and music. Nell was exposed to these local traditions of the area from a very young age.
Nell is also the youngest ever recipient to receive ‘TG4’s Gradam Ceoil Traditional Singer of the Year‘ award in 2012 and the prestigious Corn Uí Riada award which she was awarded in 2014.
Nell remains true to her local Múscraí Gaeltacht singing heritage, citing the local influences of her parents, Máire Ní Cheilleachair , Eoiní Maidhicí Ó Suilleabháin and Eilís Ní Shuilleabháin.
